๐ŸŽ‰ Reflecting on 3 Years of Creativity, Connection, and Growth at ERG: A Celebration of Art and Community

Nikki B.


Three years ago, ERG Gallery opened its doors with a vision: to create a space where art, creativity, and community could thrive in harmony. Today, ERG is more than a galleryโ€”itโ€™s a beacon of resilience, love, and connection, all made possible by the people who have supported it every step of the way.


At the heart of ERG is Eric Wilson, a man whose passion and creativity have built not just a gallery but a legacy. Even when life threw him a curveballโ€”an untimely accident that required weeks of physical therapy and recoveryโ€”Eric remained steadfast, continuing to uplift his business, his family, and his community.


But Eric hasnโ€™t done it alone. His journey has been deeply rooted in the love and support of his wife, Keisha Wilson, the owner of Kays Kraves, whose entrepreneurial spirit mirrors his own. Together, theyโ€™ve poured their energy into not just their businesses but the community they cherish. His mother, sisters, and close family friends have been constant pillars of encouragement, reminding Eric of the strength that comes from a village that believes in you.


And then thereโ€™s his daughter, Scherica Wilson, whose achievements shine brightly. As the youngest firefighter and paramedic in St. Louis, Scherica recently received the Winning in Blaque Award, celebrating her strength in overcoming obstacles and her dedication to service. She embodies the same resilience and drive that define ERG and the Wilson family.


Together, theyโ€™ve built more than a galleryโ€”theyโ€™ve created a movement. Hereโ€™s how ERG has impacted St. Louis and beyond:


โœจ A Proclamation for Purpose

In November 2021, ERG Gallery was officially recognized with a Proclamation, honoring its cultural contributions to the community.


๐ŸŽจ 150+ AMEN Sessions

Each Sunday, ERG has opened its doors for AMEN Sessions, a space for reflection, inspiration, and connection thatโ€™s become a cornerstone of its mission.


๐Ÿข 50+ Art Installations Across STL

ERGโ€™s art isnโ€™t confined to the gallery wallsโ€”itโ€™s alive in over 50 businesses, ensuring creativity touches every corner of the city.


๐Ÿ† Award-Winning Excellence

Named Best Gallery of 2022 by the the Riverfront Times and featured on platforms like Fox 2 and AH! TV, ERG continues to share its story with the world.
